When Tantai Pingchuan was still the leader of the Tantai family and Heijia camp, the Liang Kingdom was peaceful on the surface, with no external or internal troubles. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everyone had a happy face. smile.
But in fact, it is just the opposite. Not only are there a lot of internal and external troubles, but there are also many messy knots that are constantly being cut and cannot be sorted out. It can be said that from the Liang royal family to the court, to the ministers and generals, to the ordinary people, every family is a mess.
The state of Liang was surrounded by powerful enemies. Several countries that were proficient in martial arts around them ostensibly became vassals of the state of Liang. They are all training their troops in secret, eyeing the fat piece of Liang Guo. As long as they get the slightest chance, they will show their true colors and swallow this piece of fat without any scruples.
There were some sober nobles in the Liang Dynasty who could see this, so they tried their best to defend themselves. Fortunately, the King of Liang was not confused and gave this group of people full support, so that they could defeat foreign enemies again and again. Blocked outside the borders of Liang State.
On the other hand, in the Liang Kingdom, as the princes came of age and the King of Liang got older, and he was unwilling to vomit and establish the crown prince, the battle for the heir gradually became fierce. Most of the courtiers in the court either actively or passively participated in this battle to seize the heir. After a long time, they had no intention of dealing with the affairs of the court. They were thinking about how to plot against the other party all day long. Either they unite with the second prince's subordinates to set a trap for the third prince, or they unite with the fourth prince's confidants to put the second prince's shoes on. Even if they encounter a major event such as a natural or man-made disaster, the first thing these ministers think of is not how to deal with the disaster and comfort the affected people. , but what advantages can the people of my own faction take advantage of here, and whether they can dig holes for several opponents and undermine their strength.
The princes who participated in seizing the heir were happy to see this situation. The more courtiers who supported them, the more confident they would be in seizing the heir. After all, everyone's situation is the same. No one is nobler than anyone else, and no one is humbler than anyone else. It is very understandable to have thoughts and desires for that throne. After all, no one wants to lose in this battle and hand over the supreme power.
But no one expected that the Tantai family, which controlled half of the military power of the Liang Kingdom, would actually have the idea of seizing the legitimate son. After all, the Tantai family had always remained neutral and never befriended the prince, and was only loyal to the King of Liang.
It was Tantai Pingchuan's eldest son and Tantai Pingchuan's younger brother who were moving their minds when they shouldn't. The two of them had bewitched more than half of the Tantai family and stood on their side, regardless of family rules and the opposition of the patriarch. , joined without hesitation in this melee that was destined to have no ending and was destined to fail.
"So, you tried to dissuade me?" Seeing Tantai Pingchuan nod, Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Don't they listen?"
"If I had listened, I wouldn't have appeared in front of you."
To this day, Tantai Pingchuan's mood is still very depressed when he mentions what happened that year. Shen Cha looks at him with some worry.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." After glancing at Shen Cha, Tantai Pingchuan waved his hand towards her and smiled at her, "Once the Tantai family decides on something, they will move forward without hesitation. I will never look back. I have beaten, scolded, and persuaded, and I have used every method and means, but it still has no effect. They think that their choice is the right one. It can bring the Tantai family to a new level. Both the family rules and myself are out of date and no longer adapt to that era."
"So, they want to build a new Tantai family?" Shen Cha frowned even more tightly, "What have they done?"
"It doesn't matter what they did. What matters is that King Liang has murderous intentions towards the Tantai family and even the Heijia camp."
"A noble man with a large number of soldiers, and a century-old family. He has a high prestige in the hearts of the people, officials, and even the enemy. It is normal to be feared. The Xuanyuan family should have always been neutral and stood on the side of King Liang. That's why we didn't end up like that, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape King Liang's purge." Shen Haolin sighed and looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "The Tantai family is a sword that belongs exclusively to King Liang, but this sword no longer listens to him. If it does, it will definitely be destroyed. Moreover, even if the person supported by the Tantai family succeeds in succeeding, King Liang will be worried that the Tantai family's great achievements will shock the master, and the new king will become a puppet. "
"Yes, that's what happened."
"I have a guess. The Tantai family and Heijiaying got involved in the fight for the right to inherit the throne. It may not be the fault of King Liang."
"Shen Guogong is wise. This situation was indeed set up by King Liang. He wanted to use the fight for the right to get rid of some families and the forces behind them that he thought would be a threat to the new king." Tantai Pingchuan affirmed Shen Haolin's plan. He guessed, "Things that you kids know very well, but the fools in our family can't see clearly, and they still think that their decisions are very wise!" He sneered, "Their ending can be imagined, naturally it will be like this Prince Liang's wish." He sighed heavily, "The centuries-old handsome manor collapsed like this."
"But..." Shen Cha looked at Tantai Pingchuan seriously, "How did Prince Liang let you go? How did you survive in the Xuanyuan family?"
"Because King Liang and I have the same idea." Tantai Pingchuan sighed heavily, "Whether a family can develop for a long time depends on whether the clan members can be strict with themselves and understand their own position. Don't be blinded by the so-called power in your hands. Since they can no longer do this, instead of letting them destroy the Tantai family, it is better for me to destroy it myself, so that I can have an explanation with my ancestors after my death. "
"This junior admires your courage. However, have the Tantai tribe noticed your thoughts and attacked you in advance?" Seeing Tantai Pingchuan's helpless smile, Shen Cha slapped the table hard, " These beasts!"
"Xiao Cha..." This title blurted out. When Tantai Pingchuan reacted, he felt a little embarrassed. This was what he and Xuanyuan Liang called him at home. Now he didn't pay attention to say it out, so he felt embarrassed. "Can I call you that?"
Shen Cha nodded. Tantai Pingchuan was an elder to her. He had a special relationship with the Xuanyuan family and could not be called too much.
"It's understandable that they do this. After all, we have different choices. Although we are from the same clan, we should be considered two opposing parties. There is no problem with whatever they do." Tantai Pingchuan sighed and poured himself a glass of wine. He drank a cup of hot tea, took two sips to moisten his throat, and continued, "They took advantage of me to accompany Prince Liang to hunt, and sent the most elite killers from the Black Armor Battalion to chase me, forcing me to jump off the cliff." He He reached out and touched his face, "This is how this adventure came about." Seeing Song Qiyun's curious eyes, he waved his hand, "Don't ask me what happened, I don't want to tell, but what you can know is that I am not He will age, but he will age more slowly than ordinary people. If you are lucky, you might be able to leave with Ah Liang this time."
"Senior, you..."
"Birth, old age, illness and death are normal. I am already an exception among exceptions." Tantai Pingchuan smiled, "I won't talk about it anymore. I escaped death and came back here again. I went directly to the palace and met Liang Liang. king."
"King Liang doesn't know what happened to you?"
"I know." Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "My good son didn't dare to announce that I was dead. He just used the excuse that I was sick and couldn't go to court. In fact, three months have passed since the hunt until I came back again. People who should be suspicious have already been suspicious.”
"Is Prince Liang one of them?"
"So, when he saw me appearing, he didn't panic and even comforted me." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head gently, "We stayed in the palace to discuss it in detail that night. After the court dismissed the next day, he took over as the head of the Xuanyuan family. We stayed and talked in the study all day. In the evening, I dressed up as a long-term attendant of the Xuanyuan family and followed me back to Xuanyuan Mansion. From then on, I lived in Xuanyuan Mansion and never left again."
